PS2 port powering

01-10-2005, 10:16 PM

We are setting up a car for show and we have a debate here:

I say that we can add power to the following items from a PS2 mouse port:
1. Dvd Player(USB and external power from PS2)
2.USB hub(external power off PS2) with:
- Liliput TS
- Slim usb Keyboard
- and that same DVD player's usb connected to the hub too.
- one open port for a possible game pad or mouse

Its not a tremendous amount of power, but good ~28watts.
Pretty much, I think, and was told that PS2 is strait on the psu line, so if the PSU can handle it, we are ok.

Is this correct, this is a good thing for anyone who wants a usb hub and doesnt want to deal with the power issue
thank you
